Eliminating Private Mortgage Insurance on your loan.

For loans made after July 1999, lenders are required by federal law to automatically cancel Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) when the loan balance falls below 78 percent of your purchase price — not when you achieve 22 percent equity, which will happen much more quickly with rising property values. (Certain "higher risk" loans are excluded.) But you have the right to cancel PMI (for loans made after July 1999) once your equity reaches 20 percent, regardless of the original purchase price.

Keep track of your principal payments.  Also keep track of what other homes are selling for in your neighborhood.  If your loan is under five years old, chances are you haven't paid down much principal — it's been mostly interest.  But property values in many parts of the country have gone through the roof lately.  And that can earn you 20 percent equity even if you haven't paid down much principal. Call us to see if we can eliminate your PMI payments.

If you think you've reached 20 percent equity in your home, we can begin the process of freeing yourself from PMI payments! A state certified appraisal on the appropriate form (URAR- 1004 uniform residential appraisal report for single family homes) is the best proof there is — and most lenders require one before they'll cancel PMI.

Email us to find out what your savings could be each month. We will also show you a comprehensive break down of how much faster you can pay your home off. It is simple and you have already been making your mortgage payments including a PMI payment, so why not continue paying the same dollar amount and applying the PMI payment directly towards the principle. You might be amazed at how many years this can take off of your loan, saving you thousands of dollars. No obligation and no charge. This is a free equity analysis!
